“Karine Gagne learned to make this momo recipe from friends while doing research in Ladakh, India. “In spite of its seemingly banal and bland appearance, I also cherish this little ball of stuffed dough, as it recalls the many nights I spent with friends sharing stories, telling jokes, playing cards and board games, and singing songs. And more than anything, momo, or more precisely, their preparation during parties, are associated with transformative and rich learning experiences.”– Recipes and Reciprocity by Hannah Tait Neufeld & Elizabeth Finnis, University of Manitoba Press
